Dear Readers,

You are all invited to attend a royal wide celebration of the Realm of Fayandria, Saturday September 24th, at Fayandria’s Port of Entry, in Duhallow (134, 15, 21).
Please find bellow the extensive programme for this wide event.



Knighting Ceremony and Parade of Honour Agenda:

- 6:00 to 6:15 am SLT - Squires to be knighted, peerage of the Realm, the Ministers, and any other interested souls gather in Duhallow Castle’s Throne room.

6:15 am SLT – ARRIVAL OF THEIR MAJESTIES. The Throne Room is called to stand as the King and Queen enter and advance to their thrones.

6:30 am SLT – THE KNIGHTING CEREMONY. The Queen stands to call the squires forward. Individually each squire will be called forward. The ceremony is as follows:
The Queen calls the squired name and the squire comes to stand at the foot of the stairs to be presented to the King by the Queen. The King will approach the squire and ask a question about loyalty and swearing allegiance. The Squire will reply. The King will ask the Squire to kneel, dub them, and then say something like "Rise Sir/Dame” Name" and be recognized a Knight of the Realm". While the Knight is returning to the group watching; the crowd will extend congratulations. **This will happen three times.

7:00 am SLT – PROCESSION FROM THE CASTLE. The King will make a closing statement and ask all present to follow the new knights in the parade of honour.
The King and Queen will walk out first, followed by the King’s sister, Princess Elizabeth and the Prince Consort.
The three knights will follow behind the Princess and Prince Consort.
The Minister of Defence at the time of their training will walk behind the knights. After the Minister of Defence, the vassal kingdoms royalties, any visiting royalty, the Ministers of the Realm and Admiral of the Navy join the procession
(Roughly in that order please. Do not get upset if the order gets tangled, just try your best. The goal is to get in a long line of twos or threes and make it to Duhallow town centre where we will pick up the others for the parade).

7:30 AM SLT – THE PARADE OF HONOR. The King and Queen will walk through Duhallow town square with the assembly from the throne room behind them. They and the throne room assembly will walk across the square and down the stairs leading to the Inn. The rest of the Realm will fall into the parade line after Lord Eragon and Lady Aynne have passed them.

AND WE PARADE!
We will decide the route as we walk, for if we have a lot of participants we may do a longer route, but the end goal will be the Arena.

7:30 to 9:00 am SLT – REALM WIDE CELEBRATION. (DJ in the arena and on the stream)

8:30 am SLT – FIREWORKS
